A new report by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has found that the most highly educated Americans are also the most vaccine hesitant.
The researchers canvassed no fewer than 5 million Americans who responded to surveys on whether they were “probably” or “definitely not planning on getting a COVID vaccine.
The results will shock many.
“More surprising is the breakdown in vaccine hesitancy by level of education,” reports UnHerd.
“It finds that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People with a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a PhD.”
In addition, while the lowest educated saw the largest drop in vaccine hesitancy for the first five months of 2021, those with PhD’s were the most likely to not change their minds.
The study also reveals that the most common concern for those who are hesitant to take the vaccine is potential side-effects, with a lack of trust in government close behind in second.

That’s because they know how dangerous that vaccine is. It’s also worthless as far as keeping you from catching anything.
Well if ” researching ” conspiracies online makes you educated Have At It. Everyone’s answer for everything is DO THE RESEARCH and you look at their lame sources and It’s ridiculous fantasy nonsense that reinforces their helpless fears and personal beliefs. It’s not Empirical Science. Then they cry the TRUTH is being suppressed and twisted by some boogie man Deep State Cabal. The Bible is a fantastic work of fiction. Civilization existed before it. Research THAT and find out who we really are and where we came from and stop letting your faith make you hysterical and illogical.
Damn Biden, what the hell did you just say?
Soooo, I’m not stupid. Thanks.
I would rephrase that as the most intelligent ones are refusing it!
I love it when my know it all friends send me research that tells me that I need to receive the vaccine. Having done tons of research for my doctorate, I know only too well that research can tell you what you want it to say.
